The pro gears are 9310 the heat treat should be pretty close to the same with 8620, carburized with probally .060 case depth.The 9310 Pro Gears will be tempered at a higher temperature to take away the brittleness .The higher the temper the softer the gear, Pro Gear i would think would be 55rc to 57rc where a street gear will be 61-63Rc .The 9310 will have a tougher core harness then the 8620 which should help with rolling over the teeth..Hope this helps :)

40 Coupe that black surface you blasted off that gear was a phospate coating which helps with initial break in .
